Jupp Wiertz
Jupp Wiertz (born in 1869 in Lübeck, Germany) was a German expressionist and symbolist painter, printmaker, and sculptor. He was an active member of the Hamburg Secession and his works were a source of fascination for many of the Surrealists, particularly Max Ernst. Wiertz is well known for his woodcuts and lithographs, which were heavily influenced by the German Romantics. His work is noted for its depictions of the inner turmoil of humanity, particularly with themes of suffering, death, and war. Wiertz's works are often seen as dark and brooding, yet still communicating a sense of hope and inner peace. Notable works of Jupp Wiertz include The Disgraced, The New Sorrow, The Pain of Existence, The Prophet, and Death of the Child.
